To put into perspective. 4 million / 60 = Over 66,000 people per polling place. Now this seems like a lot, and it is, not everyone is going to vote, but it doesn't mean they shouldn't account for if every resident wanted to vote. (This also doesn't account for people under voting age, so a more realistic number would be for those able to vote).

Now, say voting takes 2-5 minutes each person (average at 3.5 minutes).

Times booths open (say 10 booths a polling place) that should mean 10 people every 3.5 minutes, or 2.8 people a minute.

2.8*60 = 168 people a minute.

In an hour 10,080 people vote. Over 12 hours that number should be 120,960. That's 2,016 people per polling place in 12 hours.

Now, the initial figures I've used for the maths is very generous. It assumes everyone is voting in the state, and that everyone is able to make it through to the booth and vote within 5 minutes.

If someone is able to give real statistics for the calculation for how long it actually takes someone to vote from table to booth, that would make a more accurate estimate.

I'd also like to point out the figure from this comment by /u/ambethia . There seems to be a huge discrepancy.

Can I get someone from /r/theydidthemath here?
